Despite several studies in identifying the neural
circuitry contributing to sexual orientation in the
male-to-female (MTF) transsexuals, a neuro-imaging study
for the relationships between sex arousal and sexual
hormone in the postoperative MTF transsexuals versus
premenopausal and menopausal women has not been
attempted until now. The purpose of this study was to
compare the brain activation patterns associated with
visual sexual arousal in connection with sexual hormone
levels in postoperative MTF transsexuals versus normal
premenopausal and menopausal women using a 3.0 Tesla
fMRI.
